I live near a wet prairie with lots of humidity and large live oaks that drop leaves all year and generate leaf mold. Hydrogen sulfide is produced. The water always smells of it. ( we don't drink it) It also gets stronger seasonally and according to weather. The water softener people explained to us that it is bacterialy produced and is essentially nontoxic to humans They added that strong concentrations might cause a bit of ey and resiratory irritation in sensitive individuals.

I have pretty severe respiratory complications from a work inhalation that really affected the mucous surface tissues of respiratory tract and have had very bad ongoing eye burnings of different kinds to certain types of chemicals over the last 4 years. Very severe reactions. Very strong chemical sensitivity responses since the respiratory inhalation. Adrenals don't even handle caffeine or respiratory meds ( they would kill me). I almost never have any irritation from the vapors in the house, and when I have, they have been mild and in the summer intense heat in a poorly ventilated and very damp un air conditioned house. The bathtub water actually helps my breathing.

I can easily understand the methane being dangerous, but am perplexed about the H2S. Could it possibly be something else and they don't want to admit it? Like sulphur dioxide or another sulphur compound that oxy-geismer or another entity stored? It is bad enough the company has to remove it.

( BTW the MCS happened prior to living in this house, so the H2S here had nothing to do with that starting.)
